Do you know a Teenager? Then read this book. If you are a parent of a teenager, read this book. If you work with teenagers, read this book. If you know the name of a teenager, read this book. Seriously, it is one of the best books I have read for guiding teens to a godly life.

Preparation for Life. I feel like this book truly prepares the parent for real life. Tripp is honest in his parenting short falls and weaknesses that we all share as parents. He does not sugar coat the difficulty of raising a teenager, but he provides valuable insight on truly getting your teenager ready to face the world, AND have an effect on the world for Christ.

Biblical. This book is intensely Biblical. Drawing the wisdom and insight from Scripture, it allows you trust what is being presented, because it is straight from God’s Word. It not only provides the Scripture backing, but also ways to guide your teens to find their answers for living within the pages of the Word of God.

The Bad:

Length. If you are not an avid reader, this would be the only drawback. It is a long parent book, but if you stick with it, it is well worth your time.

The Grade: A. No book is perfect (except ones that are inspired by God), but this one is a good as they come. Every parent should have this on their shelf and should be referenced often in their pursuit of raising godly children. It provides practical ways to prepare their child for real life along with a proper balance of living an effective Christian life. Priceless advice that needs to be read and re-read often.
